WORTHINGTON -- Ashton Fogelman is a relaxed 10th-grader with sparkling eyes and a ready smile, and she can score hockey goals in bunches. So when she tells you that she struggles sometimes with confidence and consistency, you begin to wonder how. Already this year, the Worthington High School forward has scored a total of 10 goals in three consecutive games -- as if a couple of hat tricks weren’t enough, she scored four goals in the other one.

WORTHINGTON -- Everyone familiar with Jack Morris’ Hall of Fame pitching career associates him with one undeniable trait: toughness. But on Tuesday night at the Worthington Event Center, a sizable crowd of Minnesota Twins fans learned how skillfully and humorously he could work an audience.

WORTHINGTON -- It’s a signal of a good team that it not only holds onto a lead, but that it actually increases a lead. The Worthington Trojans boys basketball team led Hutchinson by a single point at halftime Saturday afternoon at the local gym, then pulled away in the second half for an impressive 76-59 victory.

WORTHINGTON -- Twin brothers Kent and Tom Lais are still learning how to win varsity wrestling matches consistently. But they both took big strides Thursday night as the Worthington Trojans split a pair of bouts at the local high school. Kent had trailed Marshall freshman Coltyn Marcy at 138 pounds in Worthington’s first match of the triangular, but he rallied to flip his opponent onto his back, using a whizzer, at the edge of the mat to win in a fall in 1:41.

WORTHINGTON -- The Worthington High School boys basketball season has resembled a roller coaster ride, of sorts, thus far in the 2018-19 campaign. But one thing’s for sure -- it’s exciting. And hard to predict. Usually, though, you’re going to get an aggressive offensive effort from 6-0 senior guard Karasharo Ojulu, who opened the season like gangbusters and continues to be a threat to score big every time he takes the floor.

WORTHINGTON -- With 2:25 to go in Tuesday’s high school boys basketball game between Jackson County Central and Worthington, the score was deadlocked. But the Huskies outscored the Trojans 12-6 the rest of the way and beat the home team in an exciting, well-played game, 68-62. Six-four junior Andrew Hesebeck used his muscle, and the free throw line, down the stretch and finished with 26 points for JCC. And 6-3 junior guard Rudy Voss scored his 1,000th career point in the first half en route to 18 points.

WORTHINGTON -- A hustling, sharpshooting Redwood Valley boys basketball team overcame a 19-18 first half deficit to roll past host Worthington Thursday night, 65-47, taking advantage of a night where the Trojans’ shots just didn’t want to fall. The result gave the Cardinals (5-3) their fourth win in a row while Worthington (4-4) lost the fourth game of its last five.

MOUNTAIN LAKE -- In today’s world of modern, cookie-cutter educational institutions, it’s a unique pleasure to spend time at Mountain Lake Area High School. Of particular charm is the large, square wrestling room, located in the bowels of the place -- down a long, narrow hallway from the main office.
